SOFTWARE ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SYSTEM SOFTWARE

As system software is a complicated system, the management in developingsystem software is an important issue essential to the whole project. We argue that thesystem software is different from applicative software, and has its own properties. Current software engineering techniques can’ t satisfactorily meet the requirements of system software development. In this paper, some experiences on the development of system software are presented through analysing an example of compiler development.
